USB power control analog subsystem architecture
A device and method that include a power control analog subsystem of a universal serial bus (USB) compatible power supply device is disclosed. The power control analog subsystem includes a programmable reference generator to generate first reference voltages. The power control analog subsystem also includes multiplexers, where each of a plurality of multiplexers are coupled to a first terminal and a second terminal of a producer field-effect transistor (FET) to receive a first voltage (Vbus_in) and a second voltage (Vbus_c) and to output second reference voltages. The power control analog subsystem further includes comparators, wherein each of the comparators is coupled to receive a corresponding reference voltage of the first reference voltages from the programmable reference generator and to receive a corresponding selected voltage from a corresponding multiplexer of the multiplexers. Each of the comparators is configured to output a corresponding system interrupt based on a corresponding voltage condition.

Synchronization of interrupt processing to reduce power consumption
A processor is disclosed and includes at least one core including a first core, and interrupt delay logic. The interrupt delay logic is to receive a first interrupt at a first time and delay the first interrupt from being processed by a first time delay that begins at the first time, unless the first interrupt is pending at a second time when a second interrupt is processed by the first core. If the first interrupt is pending at the second time, the interrupt delay logic is to indicate to the first core to begin to process the first interrupt prior to completion of the first time delay. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
